I remember reading on S2000GT's blurbs along with the pictures that he had to roll the fenders, and relocate the mounting brackets for his bumper. If you're willing to go through all this work.. the 18s look bad ass

Point taken.

But different situation tho..im not at the same drop he is at. So i wouldnt be rubbing like he would so 18's would work for me.

My main problem deciding is ..are 18's just too big for my liking...i dunno. while 17's might look too small in the wheel well...difficult matter at hand

The RS is one of the biggest looking wheels since the spokes run all the way out to the edge of the rim. The 17" look plenty big. Go for em. the 18's are overkill IMHO

Have to agree with u sir. The design of the RS is appealing to the eye for the balance it has. like u said the way its designed from the inside out to flush with the outer rim is unlike alot of wheels out there. I see u are one for design as am myself. I am currently in school studying industrial design. And id have to say this wheel is one of my favs. Thats exactly why im going with it.

The 17's do give off the effect of a full 18. but im looking more towards filling up the wheel well perfectly. Yes dropping the car more could give off this same effect. but thats why im in this situation trying to decide.
